The 3-dimensional distribution of transverse (T) tubules at myotendinous junctions (MTJs) was studied by intermediate voltage (400 kV) electron microscopy of thick sections of rat vastus intermedius and chicken pectoralis muscles stained with lanthanum nitrate. Transversely oriented T tubules were s

The transverse (TI tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) a t the myotendinous junction of stretched rat skeletal muscle were examined by conventional and intermediate voltage electron microscopy. Stretching induced a large cytoplasmic space devoid of myofibrils at the ends of lengthening fiber
The mechanoreceptor system of the myotendinous junction (MTJ) of human palmaris longus muscle obtained at autopsy was studied histologically from six patients with flaccid paralysis (complete acute tetraplegia 4-6 weeks before the autopsy, due to a spinal cord injury), eight patients with spastic pa
Junctions between skeletal muscle cells and tendon collagen fibers transmit forces generated by muscle cells to the skeletal system. Since force trajectories across adhesive joints partly determine the stresses at the joint (eg, shear or tensile), the geometry of actin filament-membrane-collagen fib
